1、 Industry Summit: A Discussion on Green Transformation Across the Entire Industry Chain

As a milestone event in China's color coated sheet industry, the "2025 Color Coated Sheet Industry Full Industry Chain Conference" with the theme of "moving towards green and seeking new quality development" has attracted leading enterprises such as Baosteel, Hebei Iron and Steel, Ansteel, as well as upstream and downstream enterprises such as environmental protection coatings and coating equipment to attend. The meeting will focus on three major topics:

Green coating technology: exploring the application of environmentally friendly materials such as water-based paints and powder coatings to promote the goal of zero VOC emissions.

Intelligent production: By optimizing the spraying process through AI and IoT technology, it solves the pain points of uneven coating thickness and low color changing efficiency in traditional color coated boards.

Policy and Market Synergy: Interpreting the National Implementation Plan for Innovative Development of Fine Chemical Industry and other policies to guide the industry towards low-carbon and high-end upgrading.

As the "Capital of Metal Plates in China", Shandong Boxing's color coated plate production capacity accounts for 50% of the country's total, with an annual output of over 50 million tons. The convening of this conference will further consolidate its core position in the industry.

2、 Outstanding export performance: Global market recognition climbing

In 2024, the export volume of Chinese color coated rolls reached a historic high, with an export volume of 6.91 million tons from January to October, a year-on-year increase of 24.4%, and is expected to exceed 8 million tons for the whole year. The main growth markets include:

Emerging economies: demand surges in Southeast Asian countries such as Thailand, the Philippines, and Indonesia;

Potential markets: Countries such as Russia (+225%), Algeria (+128%), and Brazil (+87%) have seen a significant increase in imports due to the expansion of infrastructure investment.

The wide application of color coated rolls - from building exterior walls to home appliance panels, and even to new energy equipment - is becoming a new business card for the international competitiveness of "Made in China" due to its corrosion resistance, lightweight, and environmental performance.

3、 Technological Innovation Breakthrough: Superconducting Color Coated Plate Leads High End Development

The superconducting color coated sheet recently launched by Jingang Group has attracted industry attention. This product is based on a zinc aluminum magnesium substrate, coated with special superconducting paint, with a resistance value of less than 50 milliohms and a corrosion resistance life of 30 years, far exceeding the traditional product's 10-year standard. Its technological highlights include:

Self repairing coating: Zinc aluminum magnesium substrate can form a dense protective film after damage, inhibiting corrosion diffusion;

Intelligent production line: adopting continuous annealing, online detection and other technologies to achieve coating color difference control accuracy Δ E ≤ 0.5 (national standard is 0.8).

This technology not only fills the domestic gap, but also promotes the extension of Chinese color coated rolls to high-end industrial fields such as new energy vehicles and photovoltaic brackets.

4、 Challenges and Future Prospects: Balancing Green and Cost is Key

Despite the promising prospects of the industry, color coated roll enterprises still need to deal with multiple challenges:

Environmental cost pressure: The renovation of water-based paint and powder coating production lines requires high investment, putting short-term pressure on small and medium-sized enterprises;

Raw material fluctuations: Fluctuations in zinc and aluminum prices affect profit margins, and the rise in zinc prices in 2023 led to a surge in costs;

Intensifying international competition: The advantages of European and American companies in high-performance coating technology, as well as the market share of Japan and South Korea in the home appliance color coated board market, pose challenges to Chinese companies.

In the future, the industry will develop around the dual main lines of "green+intelligent":

Policy driven: By 2030, the market share of environmentally friendly coatings is expected to exceed 40%, and the penetration rate of intelligent production lines is expected to reach 60%;

Market expansion: The demand for green buildings, new energy and other fields continues to be released, and it is expected that the global market size will exceed 200 billion yuan by 2030.

The Chinese color coated roll industry is standing at the intersection of green transformation and technological innovation. From the brainstorming session at the Boxing Full Industry Chain Conference, to the "hard core breakthrough" of Jin Steel's superconducting technology, and to the "simultaneous increase in quantity and price" in the international market, this industry is responding to the call for a global low-carbon economy with high-quality development. How to find a balance between cost and environmental protection, tradition and innovation will be the core proposition of the industry in the next decade.
